49ers | Tax funds pulled in stadium deal

A California county has pulled $30 million in tax funds from the new San Francisco 49ers stadium. Santa Clara County officials said Saturday, June 23, that they would rather spend the money on teachers. The team and the city said voters had specifically earmarked redevelopment money to help build the $1.2 billion stadium and that the county has no right to keep it. The 49ers and Santa Clara officials will craft an official response this week, with lawsuits likely.
